    Anyone familiar with the Weis bar?  They are now half the size.

    I think my Weiss bar is only half of what it was, back in the day.

    I saw Meggs’ thread titled “Buzzing” and thought the missing thread had just been re-named. 😁

    What happened to the Cultural Issues at the Dees thread? I’ve just finished a quality sesh at a microbrewery in East Brunswick to find it has disappeared?

    Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

    Well done..lol..  yeah.   The 'cue' wasnt that obvious...unless you knew what to look for....and when you did it was easy peasy.

    Someone mentioned using deposits off the coke bottles....yeah...whole other story there lol...  Looking back I was quite the ratbag delinquent. 

    Twas I. A voracious collector of empty coke bottles, Leeds , Fanta and a few others. Lived in St Kilda East amongst a lot of flats . High density area and great pickings. Made more with bottles than my morning paper round. I hated that round especially on Saturday with the bloody Age. 5 bucks a week and usually had to pay for damaged flower pots. Doh. And it was so cold and dark at 5.30 am. The alarm sent shivers down my spine. As mentioned I got lazy returning the bottles and stacked them around the side of our Westbury grove house. When they went from 10 cents to 20 it was like winning Powerball. Apologies to the owner of the Newsagency for not turning my colleagues in for all the smokes they pinched.

    Or perhaps the Great Pacific Gyre (or it's cloud based equivalent) where all the world's rubbish (threads) end up waiting to be collected and repurposed into a less toxic narrative.

    Tough times ahead and wish you all the best.

    Speaking of Mick Jagger, anyone who says Paul MacCartney can still sing is only looking not listening.

    His Adelaide shows are on you tube and he has lost his great voice, which is natural in your 80’s.  

    Think he should have called it a day. He doesn’t need the money and better to remember stars at their best.

    So they were the ones behind the mystery thread culling.

    Just another example of driving two once thriving threads into the ground in their relentless pursuit of productivity & profits.

    Bloody corporates!

    Nice words re Monbon. Ditto.

    As for singers, I saw a combined Simple minds, Devo and the church concert ten years ago.

    Jim Kerr really struggled with volume and hitting the same notes. Devo were still very good. A much underated band.

    Obviously Devo can still whip it together.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
